"It’s important to note that while this alert calls out tools for gaining access to specific industrial control systems, there’s a bigger picture threat that involves more of the industrial control environment." Specific Cyberthreats to Specific Industrial MachineryĪccording to the CSA, cybercriminals have developed custom-made tools to specifically target the machines in question. Industrial organizations should pay attention to this threat," says Tim Erlin, VP of strategy at Tripwire. "Make no mistake, this is an important alert from CISA. The malware initially targets Schneider Electric and Omron controllers, however, there are no vulnerabilities specific to those product lines." "However, the nature of the malware is that it works in a wide variety of industrial controllers and systems. "The initial targeting appears to be liquid natural gas and electric community-specific," says Robert M. Industrial cybersecurity firm Dragos is among the organizations that contributed to the CSA.
